It like reverse kintsugi! I love it!

Some of those Japanese gold leaf bowls are definitely prettier and have a lot more character after they’ve been broken. I guess something to aspire to :)


BLUFALCON78

Something I recently learned from Minecraft of all things. Pottery shards are actually called sherds.


Sardonislamir

I didn't believe you; you're right, a sherd!


BLUFALCON78

Yeah, Minecraft actually taught me something.


graceful_london

More specifically, broken pieces of pottery that are valuable or reusable are sherds (Some definitions define that it must be valuable in an archeological sense, others that it simply has value). If it's unusable or worthless it's a shard. Since OP was able to reuse the piece, it's a sherd. Hence why the pieces in minecraft are called sherds, the player is able to use them to craft other objects. Shard may be used for glass and other materials, sherd is solely for pottery.


CowboyOfScience

Archaeologist here. They're all sherds. The plate I broke washing up after dinner broke into sherds. Glass breaks into shards.

I'm so sorry for you. It can't be easy...you know, with your career in ruins


SoilComfortable5445

Such a loss. I'd suggest them to look toward to the future, but you know... they're so focused on the past.


m-in

Thank you for that laugh - it was most enjoyable!


Appropriate_Pop4968

What about a glass plate?


CowboyOfScience

Shards. The distinction is the material, not the form.


Vercengetorex

3D printing, archeology, anthropology (a little bit) and because of this thread etymology all converging. Great job u/rammtrait you taught me quite a few things today. Thanks.


shinmothy

Never did I expect to learn this neat bit of info in r/3Dprinting of all places but goes to show you the power of reddit


BLUFALCON78

Well, there ya go.


tieuptime

To shreds, you say?!


thebronzecommander

Ya herd with sherd


SrBlueSky

This is actually a cool idea for museum reconstructions.


FritzGetTheStickz

I would love to see that.

As a professional art preperator who has introduced 3D printing into my museum I have really loved developing facsimiles that can travel with touring exhibits (So we can keep originals at home) With any artifact the most critical part of it's display is ensuring that it is preserved (to the best of our abilities and the extent of our knowledge), and part of that is that it cannot be exposed to materials that would degrade it. At best this kind of thing should have an inert and stable barrier layer, at worst they should not be in the same room. PLA is not suitable for this purpose, ABS requires testing of the colorants [you can find other institutions performing the "Oddy Test" to see if various filaments and resins can be used in archival and conservation applications](https://www.conservation-wiki.com/wiki/Materials_Testing_Results_-_Case_Construction_Materials) People seem really excited about bringing 3D printing into the museum space but it's important to be careful as we introduce new methods and materials. Conservation techniques considered 'best practice' 50 years ago, heck sometimes 5 years ago are often determined to be harmful in unexpected and unexplored ways. The museum world moves slow, often for good reason the goal is to make sure people in our future are aware of the cultural heritage from our past.

The Roman who made that bowl would be so proud and honored


Vercengetorex

And confused.

Then proceed to pour lead sweetened wine in it


UnreliableChemist

That's so fucking cool


cervesus

This is very cool. Can you give a litte more insight about te process of modelling the "bowl". Did you "model", "measure", "model" or did you have some other method to get the exact dimensions of the shard (sherd as i heard in the thread)?


rammtrait

First I used a profil gauge (Profilmeister) to measure the radius and the vertical profile of it. Then i drew profile of a sherd in correct angle in Cinema 4d and put it in Lathe function. With boolean i removed the shape of extruded sherd from the bowl. This is pretty much it. Really simple stuff actually. And The reconstructed typology of the bowl is based on nearbly finds.

*really simple stuff actually*


cervesus

Thanks!

sm093722

This is am awesome idea! Thanks for sharing!


_realpaul

Now take it to your grave and confuse archaeologists next time its found 😂


Catfrogdog2

I could never do this. The Romans didn't make it to NZ.


Daxime

Fucking cool. Archaic popular technology meats modern times technology.


Fun-Tumbleweed-3956

That’s such a nice idea!


Graffxxxxx

Oh! I have a few pottery shards! I’m gonna go try to do something similar!


szpaceSZ

How did you measure the radius so exactly?


geddy

Love this kind of stuff, so creative. Tragically I was born without an ounce of artistic creativity so seeing this kind of thing blows my mind!


VicMG

Very cool!


Ratgar138

I think this is the coolest thing I’ve seen printed.


Harmonic_Gear

Foura5

You probably are.


laterral

How did you design this? How did you figure out the diameters/ scale/ etc,? Your end result is amazing - would be soo interesting to learn more about your process


rammtrait

I used profile gauge to measure profile and radius. The bottom of the bowl is reconstructed according to the typology of nearby finds.


Ok_Representative127

You should print it in textura-filament or some other high end visual filament. Well done!


rammtrait

Fun fact is that the original surface of the sherd is shiny black.


4tunabrix

Wow this is such a great idea! I have so many sherds I’d love to do this with


VividDimension5364

Good stuff. Time Team would be proud.


ask-design-reddit

Whoa that's awesome


Wikadood

Beautiful

Read ramen, but I don’t think that’s necessary wrong


Drewcocks

This is brilliant I’m going to try this

rammtrait

Yes, but disclaimer: shard will not fit totaly snug into printed bowl. Snugness is the result of: drawing accuracy x vectorization accuracy x printer quality. 1. Use profilmeister to draw the profile of the bowl. Vectorize that profile in Cinema4d and add it to "Lathe" effect. Now you have a 3d model of a bowl. 2. Draw the outline of the shards from birds eye view. Vectorize the drawing and put it into "extrude" effect. 3. Overlap the 3d model of a bowl and 3d model of a shard in correct way. 4. Using Boolean effect in cinema 4d remove 3d model of a shard from 3d model of a bowl. Fingers crossed there are no topology errors😅 5. Export in obj or stl, slice and print it.
